A NOVEL REVENGE.
a Young Man EIopes with the Daughter
of His Former Employer.

& Young Man Elopes With the Daughter
of His Former Employer.
CHICAGO, Ill, Aug. 2O.-There was q
weeping at Lake View, and q young
couple, one Of whom was the daughter OF
a highly respected family In that suburb,
were speeding toward the boundless west
as fast as steam could carry them. The
mother of tho girl was almost heart
broken when the police could give no
tidings OF the Whereabouts of the yonng
folks.
Adalina Hardy, the young lady, lived
III a three-story cottage at S85 Seminary
avenue with her parents, fonr sisters and
two brothers. She is is years old, and
large for her age, many taking her to be
30. Charley z. Pitcher, the young man
who is said to have taken her away, is 25
years old, and boarded with his father.
Because of Pitchers previous history and
the part which Mr.. Hardy, the young
girls father, took in it, the family think
he has stolen their daughter away.
About three years ago Pitcher was en-
ployed by Mr.. Hardy in q machine shop
at Havana, Ill. There he disclosed to his
employer the fact that he had deserted
from the United States regular army.
Mr.. Hardy made no secret of the conf
dence, and Pitcher was captured and taken
to Ft. LeaveE worth, where he served two
years in the prison For being q deserter.
His time expired last spring. and he re-
turned to Lake View, where the Hardy
family were then residing. He found
work with the Lake View electric light
company, wheIe the Hardy boys were also
employed.
After renewing his acquaintance with
the boys, he called at the cottage
and talked toMrs. Hardy, but the family
never noticed him paying particular at.
tention to Adalina. She was still Ill
school, and conducted herself like other
young girls. 1t was understood at home
q q she was ito have nothing to do with
Pitcher. because rumors had reached
her parents ears hat he had vowed re.
venge for being sen to prison.
Miss Hardy was never known to meet
him away from the house, and when she
left she wore her usual school costume.
No attempt was made to take her other
clothing away, and for this reason it is
thought she was enticed into going some
where with Pitcher, who, when he got
her In his power made her follow. They
were last seen walking rapidly down
Lincoln avenue, toward Chicago. The
young lady's brother learned that Pitcher
had shown a friend two tickets to Kansas
City, and from this it Is supposed they
took a train for the west.
Detectives were placed at the deDots
here on the lookout for a olue-eyed young
man with a pug nose and a 2air young
girl in a worsted dress, but no such pers-
ems were seen to get on the trains.

declines to force the Indians back to their

requests such action. Consequently the

cation Of the hopeless position of the gov
eminent than even the parliamentary
election at Northwich. 1t Is significant
that The League is not proclaimed under
the sections of the coercion act, relating
to crime or association with crime, and
the government have placed themselves,
by the action they have taken in this po-
sition. If they do nothing further they
will be laughed at, while il they pursue
an aggressive policy, they will entangle
public opinion in Great Britain. 4 What
ever they do they are powerles, because
The League means the Irish people.
